The Renewable Energy Center at the Wild Horse facility is open to the public seven days a week from April through November, weather permitting. Visitors to the center are permitted to step inside the base of an operating wind turbine.
The Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility has the capacity to generate up to 273 MW.
‘People come to the Renewable Energy Center at Wild Horse from all over the world because of the phenomenal landscape and the technological marvel we have here,’ says Paul Wiegand, senior vice president of power generation for PSE. ‘All our Wild Horse visitors discover what the future of energy looks like.’
More than 45,500 people have visited the center since its opening in 2008. An open house celebration revealing the Turbine A-1 name will be held at the center following the 50,000th visit.
